LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4 NEWS AT SIX STARTS NOW. AFTER HIS STUNNING ARREST YESTERDAY,
THE LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR RYAN KELLY, IS
TALKING ABOUT BEING TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY FOR HIS ROLE IN THE
JANUARY 6TH RIOT. AND KELLY IS
NOT THE ONLY ONE TALKING ABOUT
THIS. WE’RE ALSO HEARING FROM A
MAN WHO PLEADED GUILTY TO BEING
IN THE CAPITAL DURING THE ATTACK
HE HAD ABOUT 20 MILLION OTHER
PEOPLE SAW HIS RECORDED
TESTIMONY AND LAST NIGHT’S
PRIMETIME HEARING. SO LET’S TURN
TO OUR GRANT HERMES NOW AND
GRANT. WE HAVEN’T HEARD FROM
THESE TWO MEN BEFORE. WE HAVE
NOT. RYAN KELLY TALKED TO A
RADIO STATION ON THE WEST SIDE
OF THE STATE THAT CAPITAL RIOTER
TALKED TO ME THIS AFTERNOON, AND
BOTH MEN HAVE VERY DIFFERENT
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE
POSITIONS THEY’RE IN. MHM OUT ON
BOND AFTER BEING CHARGED WITH
FOUR CRIMES FOR HIS ROLE IN THE
JANUARY 6TH ATTACK ON THE U. S.
CAPITOL RYAN KELLY, CALLING HIS
ARREST A WITCH HUNT, CONTINUING
TO GO OFF ON THESE POLITICAL
WISH HUNT AGAINST THE FRONT
RUNNER OF THE MICHIGAN
GUBERNATORIAL RACE ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE, JOINING OTHER
REPUBLICANS IN ACCUSING THE FBI
OF PLAYING POLITICS CONTINUE TO
TRY TO WEAPONIZE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, FBI AND DOJ. TO
COME AFTER. YOU KNOW, SITUATIONS
LIKE THIS THAT YOU KNOW THERE’S
BASELESS CLAIMS HERE. KELLY WAS
SEEN IN MULTIPLE VIDEOS ON
JANUARY 6TH WAVING RIOTERS INTO
THE BUILDING. HIS ARREST CAME ON
THE SAME DAY AS THE FIRST DAY OF
THE JANUARY 6TH HEARING. WHERE
TO MICHIGAN MEN DANIEL HERE,
INDIAN AND ROBERT SHORE NECK
WERE SENTENCED FOR THEIR PART IN
THE INSURRECTION WERE FEATURED.
DID BELIEVE YOU KNOW THAT THE
ELECTION WAS BEING STOLEN? UM
AND TRUMP ASKED US TO COME.
BASICALLY EVERY S FOR US TO COME
TO D. C AT BIG THINGS ARE GONNA
HAPPEN TO REACH BOTH MEN TODAY
HERE. INDIAN DID NOT RETURN OUR
CALLS, BUT SHORT, DID TALK BY
PHONE AND SAYS SEEING HIS
TESTIMONY WAS MORE THAN A
SURPRISE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY
WANTED IT FOR CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD. I DIDN’T THINK IT WAS
GOING TO BE PLAYED IN A
COMMITTEE HEARING. YOU KNOW, IT
WAS GONNA BE SIX NIGHTS OF PRIME
TIME TV. DIDN’T KNOW THAT WAS
GONNA HAPPEN EITHER. SHORT NECK
NO LONGER THINKS THE ELECTION
WAS STOLEN, SAYING HE WOULD HAVE
HOPED FOR PROOF BY NOW. THAT
HASN’T COME. YOU KNOW, I DID IT
AND YOU KNOW, I ACCEPTED THE
PUNISHMENT MOVING DOWN WELL,
TRYING TO MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE.
A SHORT NECK, ALSO SAID THAT HE
DOESN’T THINK THAT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT STARTED OR IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR JANUARY 6TH.
THAT IS WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS
TRYING TO PROVE WITH THE NEXT
SIX HEARINGS, AND THIS ISN’T
OVER. YET. THE NEXT HEARING FOR
THE JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE IS ON
MONDAY AT 10 AM RYAN KELLY IS
BACK IN COURT VIA VIDEO. ALSO ON
MONDAY THAT HE IS AT ONE PM
KIMBERLY, SPEAKING OF KELLY,
GRANTED, WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT
ARE WHAT HIS ARREST WILL MEAN
FOR THE PRIMARY RACE FOR
GOVERNOR. I MEAN, THE RACES HAD
A LOT OF UPHEAVAL. SO WHAT DOES
IT MEAN? NOW THAT THIS HAS
HAPPENED? THERE’S CERTAINLY BEEN
A LOT OF SHAKEUPS IN THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THIS RACE,
ONE OF THE FORMER PARTY INSIDERS
THAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO SAID
THAT HE THINKS KELLY MIGHT
ACTUALLY GET A BOOST FROM THIS
ARREST, NOT JUST IN NAME
RECOGNITION, GETTING HIS NAME
OUT TO PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT KNOW
WHO HE IS HERE ON THE EAST SIDE
OF THE STATE, BUT ALSO WINNING
SOME LOYALTY POINTS WITH THE
FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS
SUPPORTERS. FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS NOT ENDORSED ANYBODY IN THE
GOVERNOR’S RACE. JUST YET.
SUPPORTERS ARE LOOKING TO MAKE
HIM A POLITICAL MARTYR RIGHT
NOW, SO THIS WILL BE ONE OF
THOSE THINGS TO WATCH AS WE ARE
CLOSER TO THE PRIMARY IN AUGUST.
BACK TO YOU WILL BE WATCHING,

ELIGIBLE FOR A BOND. BUT HE’S
NOT RELEASING THE OFFICER ON HIS
OWN RECOGNIZANCE MEETING TRUSTED

WEEKS. THE JUDGE GAVE HIM SOME
BAND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING NOT
HAVING ANY FIREARMS. WE’RE LIVE
TONIGHT. SHAWN LEY LOCAL 4 BACK
TO YOU. ALRIGHT, SEAN, WE
APPRECIATE IT. AN UNUSUAL
EYESORE HAS DEVELOPED A LONG
GRATIOT AVENUE AND CHESTERFIELD
TOWNSHIP SHOPPING CARTS FROM THE
MANY RETAILERS ALONG THAT BUSY
ROAD OR COLLECTING AT BUS STOPS
LOCAL 4 BUSINESS EDITOR ROD
MELONI IS LIVE WITH A CLOSER
LOOK AND ROD. THE TOWNSHIP HAS
SEEN ENOUGH OF THIS. WELL, YEAH
. YOU KNOW, WE’RE SITTING HERE
AT THE KIOSK. THE BUS STOP KIOSK
AT 23 MILE IN GRATIOT, AND
USUALLY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT WELL WHETHER THE BUSSES
ARE RUNNING ON TIME, BUT IN THE
TOWNSHIP THIS IS WHAT THEY’RE
WORRIED ABOUT. THEY CREATE THEIR
OWN UNGAINLY, MAKESHIFT WIRE
FENCES, MULTICOLORED SHOPPING
CARDS FROM MANY DIFFERENT STORES
. MEIJER HOBBY LOBBY PETSMART J.
C PENNEY, THEY STACK UP AROUND
BUS STOPS. SMART WRITER MICHAEL
SINGLETON IS NOT A FAN FOR THEM
TO NOT BE. THERE ARE OUR TOWN
AND STUFF IS ALREADY MESSED UP
ENOUGH, BUT I MEAN PEOPLE GET
CREATIVE WITH THESE CARS. THEY
HAVE AN EXTRA SPOT TO SIT. I
GUESS WRITING SHOPPERS IT’S
BELIEVED ROLL THEIR CARTS DOWN
GRATIOT TO HOP ON THE BUS,
LEAVING THEIR CART BEHIND. OFTEN
THEY CONTAIN TRASH THAT COLLECTS
AROUND THE CARDS AS WELL. STEVE
DUCHENNE IS CHESTERFIELDS,
DEPUTY TOWNSHIP MANAGER. I MEAN
, NOBODY LIKES IT. I’M SURE
NOBODY SAYS I ENJOY DRIVING
GRATIOT TO LOOK AT THE STACKS OF
SHOPPING CARTS. TOWNSHIP CODE
ENFORCEMENT STAFF ENDED UP
HAVING TO COLLECT THE OLD CARTS
AND EITHER RETURN THEM OR CALL
THE STORES TO COME GET THEM. BUT
IT’S GETTING OLD AFTER YEARS OF
THE SAME PROBLEM, SO THE
TOWNSHIP BOARD PASSED AN
ORDINANCE THAT WILL REQUIRE THE
STORES TO EITHER COME GET THEIR
CARDS OR PAY TO GET THEM BACK
$25 FOR A THREE PACK. WE’RE
CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO CREATE
ENOUGH REVENUE EVEN OFFSET THE
COST OF CONTINUING THE
ENFORCEMENT, SO IT JUST ISN’T
INCENTIVE TO THE COMPANIES TO
GET VALUABLE CARS BACK AS
PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE. AS
MICHAEL’S BUS ARRIVED, HE HAD
THIS TAKE ON THE NEW WARDEN,
EITHER YOU GET RID OF IT WAS
GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE. NOW THEY
PASSED THE ORDINANCE ON THE 24TH
THAT WENT INTO EFFECT TWO DAYS
AGO. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, WELL,
THE CARTS REMAIN HERE. SO WHAT
GIVES? WELL THEY’RE SLOW ROLLING
THIS WHOLE THING. THEY WANT TO
HAND OUT PAMPHLETS TO THE STORES
, TELLING THEM EXACTLY WHAT’S TO
COME IN THE MONTHS AHEAD IF THEY
HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND PAY TO GET
THEIR CARTS BACK. BACK TO YOU.
DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO TALK
WITH ANY OF THE RETAIL STORES
ABOUT IT? WELL, IDEALLY, I
TALKED TO MEIJER AND THEY SAY
THAT YOU KNOW, THIS IS LONG TIME
PROBLEM FOR MANY OF THEIR STORES
. THEY DIDN’T HAVE SPECIFICS ON
THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION, BUT
WHAT THEY SAY IS THEY ALWAYS TRY
AND WORK WITH THE LOCALITIES AND
THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THEY’RE
IN TO TRY AND MAKE SURE THAT
THEY CAN STOP THIS KIND OF
THING. AND THEY SAY THAT THEY
WILL CERTAINLY BE LOOKING INTO
THAT’S GOOD. OKAY, BRAD, THANKS.
WELL, NOT THE MOST IMPRESSIVE
THING WE’VE SEEN ON RADAR ALL
WEEK, BUT BIT OF A NUISANCE. IF
YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO DINNER
TONIGHT, IT IS BRETT COLLARS
TRACKING SOME WET WEATHER
TONIGHT. HI THERE. BRETT BEEN
SEEING THESE SHOWERS IN A COUPLE
OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVED THROUGH.
THE INTENSITY IS REALLY GONE
DOWN THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS.
BUT THERE ARE STILL A FEW
SHOWERS AND DROPS TO DODGE ON
THIS FRIDAY EVENING. THE
HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN HERE JUST
MAINLY OVER LAKE SAINT CLARA,
BUT YOU CAN SEE EXITING MACOMB
COUNTY, SOME DECENT RAIN FALLING
HERE AT THE MOMENT. OUTSIDE OF

SEEING SOME LIGHT RAIN,
ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN OAKLAND
COUNTY, BACK IN THE WASHINGTON
COUNTY, THERE IS SOME MORE RAIN
BACK OUT TO THE WEST, BUT ALL
THIS ACTIVITY STARTING TO QUIET
DOWN AND ONCE THE SUN SETS, IT’S
REALLY GOING TO QUIET DOWN. SET
THE STAGE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A
QUIET NIGHT TONIGHT. QUIET START
TO YOUR SATURDAY. THE SECOND
HALF OF THEM ARE OF A DIFFERENT
STORY AS THE CHANCE FOR A FEW
SHOWERS RETURNS. FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE DAY, MAINLY IN THE
NORTH ZONE. A FEW MORE SHOWERS
AROUND PARTS OF YOUR SUNDAY.
WE’VE GOT SOME HEAT COMING AFTER
THIS. WE’LL TALK ABOUT HOW HIGH
THE THERMOMETER GETS. IN JUST A
BIT. WITH THE CHANCE FOR RAIN
THIS WEEKEND. MAKE SURE THAT YOU

HAND FORECAST VIDEOS. IT’S ALL
THERE. JUST SEARCH WDIV’S
WEATHER IN THE APP STORE. FORMER
DETROIT POLICE CHIEF JAMES CRAIG
SAYS HE WILL RUN AS A WRITE IN
CANDIDATE IN THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY FROM MICHIGAN GOVERNOR.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AFTER HE
WAS KICKED OFF THE PRIMARY
BALLOT BECAUSE OF A LACK OF
VALID PETITION SIGNATURES. LAST
